Even Shaffer is starting to backtrack. Looks like John Podheretz is right and is owed an apology by a bunch here on FR.

Do you always give up so easily?

Remember, the left always lies. And the media always covers for them.

Let's wait a while before running up the white flag.

I'm not giving up on anything. I want the truth and it's fairly obvious, based upon Shaffer's own comments, that he wasn't close enough to Able Danger to backup what's been said. His comments about Atta are now attributed to the comments/testimony of others, not his own personal experience.

Yes, I am very cautious when we get a guy who comes out of the woodwork with explosive, yet uncorroborated, information of something so spectacular it could cause major damage.

The left has been burned by relying on folks from their side without all the information. There's something to be learned from their failures.

Exactly, from the NY Post today:

Other sources familiar with the investigation told The Post that the probe so far has confirmed that Able Danger did produce a chart of terror suspects in the United States, and military lawyers blocked efforts to notify the FBI.
